Faulty design of ballot and envelope in Pueblo causes outcry in mayor’s race

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:26:01 GMT

A snafu by the Pueblo County clerk’s office has resulted in thousands of ballots being sent to Pueblo voters that could be vulnerable to tampering due to a faulty envelope and ballot design.On ballots for the Nov. 7 election that were mailed to voters last week, several candidates listed in the Pueblo mayoral contest would be visible and accessible through a hole punched in the middle of the return envelope — depending on how voters folded and inserted their ballots.Matt Crane, the executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, told The Denver Post on Monday that the error was something that “should have been caught in the quality-control process and that is something Pueblo County will address in future elections.”Candidates pointed out that if someone were to get ahold of a completed and sealed ballot, they could fill in another choice in the race through the hole in the envelope, effectively voiding that vote for mayor since only one choice ...

Editorial: The Denver Post’s endorsement on Proposition II

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:26:01 GMT

A quirk of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights requires that even if voters agree to a tax increase – in this case about $176 million in new tobacco and nicotine taxes approved by voters in 2020 – if it generates more money than estimated, the state has to refund the excess.The question in Proposition II is whether the state can keep the $23 million in tobacco and nicotine sales tax revenue that was generated above the $176 million estimate. If voters say no on Nov. 7, the state will be forced to refund that money to the stores that collected it from smokers, chewers, and vapers and lower the sales tax in future years.The answer seems clear to us. Voters intended the money generated by these new and increased sin taxes would fund a new preschool program to get every Colorado 4-year-old in a school seat before kindergarten for at least 10 hours a week.Colorado state lawmakers and Gov. Jared Polis who championed the new tax in Proposition EE in 2020 delivered on their promise – parents used...

Douthat: Why we should fear China more than Middle Eastern war

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:26:01 GMT

On Thursday, President Joe Biden gave a speech linking the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russian invasion of Ukraine and framing U.S. involvement as part of a grand strategy to contain our enemies and rivals. “When terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression,” he declared, “they keep going. And the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising.”Broadly speaking, Biden is correct; the United States has a strong interest in preventing rival powers from redrawing maps or undermining America’s democratic allies. But the difference between the president’s strategic analysis and the kind I’ve tried to offer recently is twofold: the general absence, in Biden’s words, of any acknowledgment of difficult trade-offs and the specific absence of any reference to China as a potentially more significant threat than Russia or Iran.These absences are not particularly surprising. It’s normal for American presidents to say chest-poun...
